project

When I was designing this necklace, I was thinking classic luxury, like a Harry Winston diamond wreath or Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. Of course, this project doesn’t have any diamonds (or cost as much as a Harry Winston!) — it’s affordable luxury!

I love it when a project turns out exactly like I pictured it in my head. It doesn’t happen as often as I’d like, but when it does, it makes me happy and proud. These earrings were also my first attempt with bead needles and thread, which I haven’t used before, (remember, I’m learning to seed bead), so that added some extra gratification!

When I think of Christmas, I think of the usual things, but I also think of sparkle, glitter, magic and beauty, and it took me a little bit, but I came up with a bracelet I think incorporates all those things! Plus, the red beads reminded me of holly berries, perfect for this time of year!
